BASS Festival Unveils Lineup for 2018

2018 marks 50 years since the birth of Reggae – so to celebrate, Punch Records’ BASS Festival have decided to throw an entire month’s worth of celebrations in honour of the music from ‘the little island in the sun’.

BASS2018 is to feature live music, film screenings, debate and conversation, workshops, and visual arts, running throughout October, featuring different key figures and across multiple venues in and around Birmingham. You can enjoy performances from reggae royalty, as Freddie McGregor, Toots & The Maytals, and Winta James will all be lining up to help celebrate the sound of reggae music.

With Steel Pulse‘s Handsworth Revolution also celebrating this year (40 years old!!), BASS2018 will also be paying homage to the iconic release. In addition to this, you can take in a selection of reggae’s filmography, as a weekly cinema club will be broadcasting some classics from the past fifty years.

Here’s the rundown of what, where, when, and how much for each event taking place during BASS2018…
